SAIA/SSFI Product Verification

Program Information

The Scaffold Shoring and Forming Institute (SSFI) Committee of the Scaffold & Access Industry Association, has developed a uniform, independently audited Performance Verification Program.  This program is intended to evaluate whether a manufacturer has tested and rated their scaffolding, suspended scaffolding, shoring, forming, or scaffold plank and deck assemblies and components in accordance with applicable ANSI/SAIA A11 test procedures.
 
The program is open to all manufacturers of scaffolding, suspended scaffolding, shoring, forming, or scaffold plank and deck assemblies and components. Participation in the program is mandatory for its member manufacturers and voluntary for non-member manufacturers. All manufacturers who participate in the program are required to adhere to the testing and validation requirements.
 
The responsibility for the integrity of scaffolding, forming, suspended scaffolding, shoring, and scaffold plank and deck assemblies and components rests solely with the manufacturer. SAIA and its SSFI Committee do not certify or warrant the performance, design, code conformance, or suitability of any specific assemblies or components and EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY FOR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
